Friends and Members, It’s that time of year, when Red River Unitarian Universalist Church begins its annual Stewardship Campaign. Starting in February the Finance Team looks at expenses year-to-date and creates a proposed budget to cover July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. This budget must be a balanced budget (required by our By-Laws) so the Finance Team comes up with a target pledge amount goal to balance the budget. This year the Finance Team is forecasting a budget of $50,400. The expenses for this budget are broken into: To cover these expenses a pledge goal of $47,000 ihas been set. Our Stewardship Campaign will run through mid-April. Once the campaign is ended, the actual of the campaign pledge totals is plugged into the forecasted budget and necessary corrections are made to insure a balanced budget. The Board then approves this budget and it is included in the Spring Congregational packet that will go out May 4th. The final agreed to budget is then approved at our May 17th Spring Congregational Meeting. Please pledge as generously as you can. Your support truly matters. This community exists because of you—and together, we can ensure it continues to thrive. Pledge cards are available in the lobby. You may also pledge online by going to the link: https://redriveruu.org/pledge-2026-27.

Being aware of your surroundings and knowing what to do in case of a medical or weather emergency or even a hostile situation can give you the confidence to save lives, including your own. We will discuss the various types of emergencies you may face here at church, what to do during those emergencies and what the EP Team is planning to make our gathering place safer for everyone. The Committee on Ministry meets every 4th Sunday after service. Members are welcome to join us to discuss any aspect of church operations or concerns with those operations or with other members. Come join us for the social justice meetings. Sometimes we write postcards, sometimes we discuss events, sometimes we work on organization.
